A succesful sale of work organised by the Te Karaka Girl Guide Committee was held in the Parish Hall, Te Karaka, last week. Generous donations by residents of the district enabled the committee to make a good display of clothing, produce, cakes, and sweets. The sellers, under the leadership of Mrs. F. M. Clayton, did excellent work and as a result the Guide funds will be augmented considerably.

A meeting of the Te Karaka Ranger Company was held in the Parish Hall. The captain, Miss L. Ruru. gave an instructive resume of the ranger conference which she attended in Wellington recently.
